Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 2594: Bold

She regained her composure, however, when a figure approached her in small steps while waving to her. She looked up at the pretty girl in the pink dress.

“Hey, why are you here by yourself? Are you not afraid? My grandfather told me that there are beasts in this area. How could you be so bold as to rest here alone?”

The girl asked curiously. When she tried to get closer, she was restrained by the young man behind her.

“Little Sister, why are you moving so close? You don’t know where this man comes from. He’s all dirty. Don’t get too close.” The young man wore a brocade robe and a jade belt, and he appeared to be a noble young master. However, at this moment he was looking with disgust at Feng Jiu, who was sitting in the tent.

Feng Jiu ate the cakes. After looking at them, she turned her gaze to the night sky and gave them no further attention.

They were just two kids. It’s no fun talking to them.

“You two, don’t go too far away.” A gentle female voice came, attracting Feng Jiu’s attention.

She noticed a beautiful woman dressed simply but elegantly in a crescent white gown standing by the carriage and smiling at this side, while beside her stood an imposing middle-aged man. When the middle-aged man heard the beautiful woman’s words, he yelled to the girl and the young man, “Didn’t your mother warn you not to go too far? Come back quickly.”

The girl dashed back, affectionately taking the beautiful woman’s hand. “Mother, there’s a young man about the same age as Brother over there. He put up a tent to rest in. Why isn’t he afraid of being captured by the beasts?”

Hearing this, the beautiful woman smiled at the middle-aged man, who replied with mirth in his voice. “All I know is that if you were here alone, you would be captured by the wild beasts.”

“Father.” The girl called out petulantly.

An elderly man emerged from the carriage in front. He stroked his beard and gazed up at the night sky. “It’s really nice weather tonight,” he commented, smiling. “The moonlight illuminated the road and a cool breeze blew. If you are not in a hurry to return to the ancestral house, you can spend the night here.”

“Grandfather, can we spend the night here? We have been continuously rushing on the journey. We’re exhausted, too!” The girl stated while pouting.

“Hehe, it’s alright to take a short break. We lost a lot of time on the road. We can’t make those at the ancestral house waiting for us. We’d better avoid upsetting some members of the clan.”

But I don’t want to return too soon. If we’re back so soon, the clan will order Father to go to the heart of the island. Brother said that the location is extremely dangerous.”

“Little girl, don’t repeat this the second time. In particular, avoid mentioning it to those at the ancestral house.” The elderly gentleman cautioned.

The little girl stuck out her tongue, grimaced, and led her mother to the small tent. “Come on, Mother, let’s go talk to that little brother and ask him why he is so bold as to be alone in the wilderness.”

The girl dragged her mother to Feng Jiu. The middle-aged man followed after a brief hesitation.
